September 15–19, 2025
Every September, Peer Review Week offers an opportunity to highlight the essential role that peer review plays in advancing scholarly communication. As ECS celebrates Peer Review Week 2025 (September 15–19, 2025), we proudly recognize the dedicated individuals whose careful, insightful, and timely reviews sustain the integrity and quality of the ECS family of journals.
For the 2024–2025 program year, ECS editorial leadership selected 39 outstanding reviewers for recognition as Top ECS Reviewers. Each of these individuals was chosen from among thousands of active reviewers across our journals, representing the very best of their topical interest areas. Their efforts ensure that more than 3,500 annual submissions are reviewed with rigor, fairness, and respect for scientific integrity.

Recognition and opportunities for reviewers
ECS’s Peer Review Excellence Recognition Program celebrates reviewers who not only contribute frequently but also provide reports of exceptional quality and timeliness. Top reviewers are recognized annually during Peer Review Week and receive a complimentary ECS membership, complimentary admission to the next ECS spring meeting, and recognition in ECS Interface magazine. More about the program is at electrochem.org/peer-review-program.
For those interested in joining this distinguished community, becoming a reviewer for ECS is both rewarding and impactful. Prospective reviewers can learn more about the process, including how to create a ScholarOne account and complete the Peer Review Excellence Training and Certification, at electrochem.org/publications/peer-review. By contributing high-quality reviews, researchers not only strengthen the ECS journals but also build their own professional reputation and may one day be honored among the Top Reviewers recognized here.
As we celebrate Peer Review Week 2025, ECS extends heartfelt thanks to all our reviewers for their invaluable contributions and congratulates the 39 individuals recognized as Top ECS Reviewers for 2024–2025.
